Our Services and Clinics
​​
​
​
We offer many services at Field Street Surgery, to prevent registered patients traveling to community hospitals for tests that can be done in-house where possible. We intend to run targeted health campaigns and form partnerships with local voluntary groups.
​
Some of the services we offer include:
​
-
Chaperones - If there is need for an examination of an intimate nature by the doctor, you may wish a chaperone to be present. You can ask for one of our staff to act as a chaperone, or alternatively you can return for the examination at a mutually convenient time and bring a relative or friend with you.
-
Cervical Smears - These are taken by the practice nurse. The Health Authority will usually inform you of the result. If you have not had a report within six weeks of the test, please let us know.
​
-
Contraception - Family planning advice is available from the doctor or practice nurse. There is a coil/implant self-refer service at Springfield Road Health Centre, Leicester, LE2 3BB. 0116 225 6790

Medical Certificates - Medical Certificates are given at the discretion of the doctor for bona fide medical conditions. Legally, we are unable to back-date these unless we have seen you for the same condition in the recent past.
